The City of Princeton was named the 15th out of the top 100 cities to live in the United States by Money magazine and it is easy to see why when you walk down the cobblestone paths in the center of town. Of course, it may have something to do with Princeton University, one of the most prominent educational facilities in the world. 

Many of the counselors in Princeton actually graduated from the esteemed campus and, whether from Princeton or not, the finest therapists and counselors in the world are based here. If you or someone you know is having some kind of mental health issue, reach out for help right away.

Hi, I'm Tai-Anne. I am a licensed therapist, currently located in Baltimore, Maryland. I have been practicing therapy for seven years and have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have my Masters Degree in Social Work from the University at Albany, SUNY and was previously a Rape Crisis Counselor. My focus is on trauma, anxiety and depression and I utilize strength-based, CBT and person-centered approaches to treatment. I enjoy working with diverse populations, including the LGBTQ+ community, parental challenges and African-American women. Therapy helps us to address concerns that created a significant stress or change in our lives. My way of counseling is to create a non-judgmental environment as I help clients challenge their negative thinking patterns, cope with current stressors and create action plans to address their concerns. I believe psychoeducation is important throughout the therapeutic process, as it can help to address these negative cognitive patterns through learning coping skills and building a tool kit of resources to tackle stressors now and apply them in the future. I believe that self-care is the most important thing we can do for ourselves, other than constantly expanding our knowledge. I am a big advocate for traveling and engaging in activities that bring us joy, allowing us to feel less stressed. If I seem like a great fit for you, I look forward to helping you through this growth period!

I am licensed in New Jersey with 21 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & parenting issues. I also have experience working perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Counseling is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and a healthy way to invest in yourself. I think of it as a cooperative problem solving process, where you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I strive to add additional strategies and strengths to the ones you already have, so you're able to face new (or old!) problems with a wider variety of approaches (and hopefully more confidence to do so). Counseling also helps you gain back time in the rest of your life. Have you ever been distracted from what's right in front of you because you're focused on the stressors in your life? Counseling gives you a dedicated space and time to focus on those stressors, so that you can hopefully enjoy the other important parts of your life more fully! I attended college at Johns Hopkins University (Public Health) and then completed my graduate degree at Fairleigh Dickinson University. I have worked in schools, hospitals and treatment programs, as well as private practice setting. I have been delivering counseling services online since 2020 and find it a very effective format for counseling that helps make fitting it into your life realistic! Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
